An old lady's life

Since the advent of cement and several craftsmen left their craftsmen, their enthusiasm for invention has been mobilized. Over the years, more and more inventions have been created, which have greatly improved the lives of ordinary people.

Emperor Changping glanced at the transparent glass window, and he found that some things were beyond imagination. He predicted that after the change of the craftsman's status, there would be some changes in Dafeng, but he never expected such a big change.

And his son is dedicated to serving the public. He didn't want to live up to his son's expectations when it came to the parity of salt last time, but he didn't want his son to turn around. It was another idea. He was indeed a young man with a strong ability to accept new things.Now he can no longer control his son's actions. He knows that his son has been engaged in maritime business with Jia She and Lin Hai for several years, but he doesn't take it seriously. Participate in it, not to mention raising taxes for the treasury.

However, it was quite satisfactory before, and now you will see this huge map. Emperor Changping can't deceive himself. His son's plan is very big, and he does one thing. As long as he is determined, even if it takes three to five years, he will stick to it. .

Thinking of the deceased eldest and second child, Emperor Changping sighed in his heart, and then thought of the remaining seven sons, each of whom was still fighting endlessly in the world of Dafeng, and the seventh son had already set his sights on other countries.

Emperor Changping glanced at his seventh son again, and King Zhaojun stared at his father for a moment, waiting for his words.Emperor Changping glanced at Yang Gang and Yang Gang. Zhaojun Wang was still a little confused, and Wang Wei immediately stepped forward to lead them away, leaving Changping Emperor and Zhaojun Wang father and son in the imperial study.

"Father, what are your orders?" King Zhaojun felt that his father looked a little serious, and he couldn't help becoming more serious.

Emperor Changping looked at his seventh son up and down. He was tall and straight, and compared with the little boy kneeling in front of Concubine Shu's hospital bed more than ten years ago, he had grown into an upright man.

"Lao Qi, what do you want to do in the future?" Emperor Changping asked after a long pause.

King Zhaojun was a little confused. He didn't know what his father asked this question for, so he said without thinking, "I can do whatever I want, and my son is doing what I want to do right now."

Emperor Changping glanced at the seventh son quietly: "You can do what you want because I am your father, and your father will support any serious business that your son wants to do. After the father is gone, the person who sits on the throne People are not you, brothers are not father, you can do whatever you want?"

King Zhaojun didn't know what his father was planning when he heard the words, so he thought for a while and said, "Then father will hand over the throne to the son, and the son can do whatever he thinks."

Emperor Changping glared at his son, and said angrily: "You really dare to say it."

King Zhaojun pursed his lips, then lowered his head and said, "There is nothing to dare to say, because compared to the third brother, fifth brother, eighth brother, and ninth brother, the son proudly told his father that his son has done more things than them. Everything that I have now is inseparable from the support of my father, but it is also achieved through hard work, and I didn't take any money that I shouldn't have."

Emperor Changping was speechless for a while, coughed, and continued: "You haven't answered me yet. If something happens to me unfortunately, according to the order of seniority, the new emperor supported by the courtiers will not be you. What should you do then?"

King Zhaojun looked up at his father, and said slowly: "Father, the third brother is a little naive, for example, he thinks that the women in the backyard are kind and docile. The fifth brother is a little worried and indecisive. His two cronies are under his subordinates. The former should have more face than him. The eighth brother has a higher heart, the ninth brother is a little narrow-minded, the tenth brother knows the current affairs, the eleventh brother and the twelfth brother are still young, are you sure they are suitable?"

Emperor Changping's face darkened, and he stared at him: "I told you about your brothers, what about you? What are your strengths and weaknesses?"

King Zhaojun glanced carefully at his father, and said slowly, "It's too embarrassing for me to boast, as long as my father knows."

Emperor Changping was a bit dumbfounded. He never thought that the seventh son would still have such a thick skin. King Zhaojun said after seeing this: "Father Huang's question just now, in fact, I have not thought about it."

"Then think about it now!" Emperor Changping stared solemnly again.

"This non-existent problem, what is there to think about." King Zhaojun was a little distressed, wondering why his father was entangled in this problem?

The father and son looked at each other, and after a long time King Zhaojun said: "Well, since the father wants an answer, the son thinks about it, I want to do too many things, and the two elder brothers should be afraid of me when they ascend the throne. Just have to grab it back."

Emperor Changping couldn't laugh or cry again, and sighed: "You really dare to say it!"

Isn't that what your old man asked you to say?King Zhaojun pursed his lips. He would never allow the throne to fall on others, just for the things he is doing now. These brothers will never tolerate him when they ascend the throne, but he is very magnanimous and can tolerate them.

Emperor Changping looked at the huge map on the desk, and then returned to the topic, "So, what exactly do you want to do?"

King Zhaojun's eyes lit up, he took a few steps forward, lying on the desk, and flattened the map, "Military academies, especially the navy, our navy is not regular enough. According to Yang Gang, the country of foreigners has already had three consecutive fires/ Guns, and many sea-going ships are equipped with artillery fire, but Taifeng’s artillery fire is not good enough, and it has fallen behind the foreigners.”

Emperor Changping's expression turned serious, and King Zhaojun continued: "Someone once said that if you fall behind, you will be beaten. Father, I don't want our Dafeng to be beaten into the country by foreigners one day."

"Father, you have also seen the changes in these years. The inventions and creations of craftsmen are really powerful, and the ability of foreigners in this area is no worse than ours. Multi-fire/guns and long-range artillery/fire will surely appear in the world soon. After a pause, King Zhaojun said again: "In recent years, people's lives have been better, but education has stopped in place. Father, we can't be complacent." In recent years, the court seems to be very satisfied with the current situation. This will not work, we must forge ahead, attack is the best defensive posture!

There are problems in every aspect, step by step, he feels that there is not enough time!

Glancing at the sky outside, there were heavy snowfalls falling, which were extraordinarily dazzling in the dark night. Emperor Changping pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I know, it can't be done overnight, it's late today, go back and rest, after Let’s discuss this matter again.”

The father of the Zhaojun Dynasty saluted, then withdrew from the imperial study, and called Yang Gang and Wang Wei who were blowing the cold wind with Wang Wei outside to walk outside the palace together.

He was not afraid that his father would not agree, anyway, he knew his father's pulse, as long as it did not endanger Dafeng Jiangshan, his father would definitely agree to him.

Chang Ping frowned and thought for a long time, he glanced at Wang Wei, "Wang Wei, don't you think Lao Qi is very courageous?" He dared to say anything, did he rely on him not knowing what to do with him?

Wang Wei said in his heart, isn't this what you are used to, Your Majesty?But he said with a smile: "The prince of the county is so energetic, this is a young man!"

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, and it's time to rest. I'll wait until tomorrow to discuss the big things." Wang Wei stepped forward to close the open glass window. Floor-to-ceiling glass cannot be installed in the bedroom, after all, it must be kept safe and mysterious.

Emperor Changping stood up with a solemn expression. He was really soft-hearted when he was old, but he was very proud. He was not like the first emperor. All the sons around him were only thinking about the throne, and none of them treated him sincerely.Although these sons of his now have various problems, they still respect him very much in front of his father.

The lights in the imperial study were turned off, and Wang Wei summoned the palace servants to serve Emperor Chang Ping to wash and sleep, but just after the lights in the bedroom went out, Wang Wei called the two eunuchs who were on duty at night, planning to go back to his bedroom to rest, when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Oh, I scared the miscellaneous family to death." Wang Wei patted his chest, glared at Ying Xing angrily, and said angrily, "Ying Xing, what are you doing?"

Ying Xing turned his back to the light, Wang Wei couldn't see his expression, and the next moment he heard Ying Xing say in a sad tone: "Wang Gonggong, my master is dying."

Wang Wei was taken aback, Ying Xing asked again: "Can I report to the emperor?"

Wang Wei also didn't care about Ying Xing scaring him, stretched out his hand and pushed him away: "Of course I have to report to the emperor, don't you kid know that the emperor and your master are close friends?"

The weather has been extremely cold recently, Commander Wu has not entered the palace for a month, and Emperor Changping only learned about Commander Wu's situation from Lou Gao and the Tang imperial physician.

The emperor is a loner, and the emperor doesn't have many friends. Commander Wu is considered half a friend. The reason why he is half is because the relationship between the two is not equal, and the relationship between friends is naturally not that simple.

Emperor Changping was woken up by Wang Wei as soon as he fell asleep. Everyone was angry to wake up. When Wang Wei explained the reason, his head suddenly woke up.In less than half a quarter of an hour, Emperor Changping put on his clothes, stood at the door of the bedroom, and looked at the dark sky.

"Ying Xing, get ready, I'm going to see your master."

Emperor Changping’s heart is empty now. Commander Wu is different from other courtiers. He has been by his side for more than 20 years, although since Commander Wu fell ill, he knew that he would leave this world before him. Intellectually, he knew that everyone has to die , but emotionally...

In less than a quarter of an hour, Ying Xing mobilized the imperial army and escorted Emperor Changping to the Wu residence outside the palace. Commander Wu was still heaving. He wanted his disciples to take him into the palace to bid farewell to Emperor Changping. Weather, if he enters the palace, he won't be able to wait to see the emperor, so he has no choice but to report to the emperor, and the emperor will decide to see him for the last time.

The court and King Zhaojun have not done any secret things lately, and need extra protection from the emperor, so Lou Gao's fifteen brothers and sisters are all in the capital, and those who are on duty in the palace tonight went to the Wu residence together with Emperor Changping.

Just after getting off the carriage at Wu's house, Feng Yu brought a group of people to hand over to Lou Gao and the others. If Commander Wu went, Feng Yu would naturally arrange the security of the palace during this period, so Emperor Changping left the palace. , Feng Yu rushed over after receiving the news.

Emperor Changping glanced at Feng Yu, a group of people surrounded the whole Wu residence, he didn't have time to talk to Feng Yu, got off the carriage, and strode into the house.

The room was very quiet and solemn, Imperial Physician Tang and Lin Nuan were here together, one at the head of the bed and one at the end of the bed, Commander Wu still had a silver needle pierced on his wrist.He himself has a strong man's figure, because the inside is exhausted, revealing a skeleton, which makes people look sad.
